OK, I searched, read stickies etc. Thank you for all the great info.
Before Ii do this thing I just want a confirmation.
I received my bell incredible s with s-off via unknown means.
Every thing I read assumes you have s-on and goes through the steps fro there.
I gather I do not need to go to htcdev.com/bootloader. to unlock the bootloader.
do I still need to install revolutionary, or will I be able to flash roms without that?
this is my boot screen:

+1 The 4ext recovery app on google play will download either the touch version or the classic version (your choice here) for you. With its installation is download and the flashing process so its really simple but I still prefer to do things the manual way
O BTW your bootloader should be unlocked. (saying just in case )

From all I read I need either s-off OR unlocked bootloader, not both.
Also the app says it needs root to work, something i can not do until I flash a recovery, and I do not see any way of installing 4ext before root.
please correct me if I am wrong for others that might read this,, because I am a major noob
Anyway, I just went ahead and downloaded and flashed revolutionary from http://revolutionary.io/ , and let it install ClockworkMod.
followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118187 to flash superuser and cyanogenmod 7.
I had a little problem with a boot-loop on first try starting cyanogenmod, so I had to go back into CWM to do I factory reset (i think) and reflash cyanogenmod. All's good now.:good:

Ahh i see. Well I would suggest the installation of 4ext now because the recovery that is provided by the revolutionary team is CWM 4.XX something like that. 4ext is provides a bit more so id definitely recommend it. :good:

That's what I'm saying - your phone has an unlocked HBOOT (bootloader) but the radio is still locked. There is at least one thread on the forum here explaining how to flash a radio manually. Radio S-OFF can only be achieved using a hardware solution like an XTC clip, as far as I know.
test this out?

Ok so either the rom u r using does not have root permissions, or maybe you are not allowing root permissions on your phone when you type "su" in adb shell, ... what i mean is, after typing "su" in adb shell, on your phone a popup should appear asking for root permissions. U need ROOT permissions and busybox installed to flash eng-boot.
MY phone came shipped to me with s-off, i didnt use an xtc clip.

Sweet. Nice one, well done.
once you have flashed the radio, there is no need for the "eng-hboot" so if you were feeling confident...
download the attached zip.

Well there is only one way to find out, All I can say is that my phone came with s-off, flashing the eng-hboot did not return me to s-on, the eng-boot is an engeering hboot so i dont see that it would return to s-on
EDIT: this from your other thread..
vimfreak said:
Flashing RUU will return S-ON.
I've S-OFF my phone with alpharevx and then flashed official GB RUU - phone was S-ON again.
However its not a big deal since you can use alpharevx trick again - phone will be S-OFF again (worked for me)
Click to expand...

It depends on whether or not it checks if the hardware is S-OFF or not... Because if it does then Im screwed... But Ive looked at the Desire Z forum and they soft mod S-OFF and are able to install ENG HBOOT S-OFF... But... If it does happen to fail, since Im already rooted, wouldnt I be able to flash a HBOOT from the Optus rom or something?
EDIT: yes, but AlphaRevX relies on the stock HBOOTs to operate...
EDIT 2: did some research... ENG HBOOT is unlocked by nature... Apparently its impossible for it to revert you to S-ON xD thanks for your help

The OTA update cannot be applied to a phone that was S-Off with Revolutionary. You should be able to pull the battery to reboot into Recovery mode and restore your backup to get going again.

Please do not hijack a thread and then ask a question that isn't even relavent to the topic.
You need to search this forum and next time definitely give more information such as I used [fill in the blank] method to S-Off my IncS. What is the procedure I can use to get back to S-On?
Follow this beautiful guide go back to S-ON, tried myself AMD it works flawlessly..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359555
You should have the hboot version which you had previously..
Read carefully you will gain s-on..
After s-on run the RUU sense 3 exe file which you have downloaded but don't install from pc.. before doing this procedure you should make a goldcard.. search for that in google .. once you make a gold card, put the extracted file of that RUU from temp folder ( I guess you know how to do that ) , name it PG32IMG.zip and reboot your phone by pressing volume down+power phone will search for that file and follow on screen procedure.. it will install sense 3.0.. and your phone will start working again.. don't panic...
Info about making goldcard found here though it says for desire hd it works for incredible s too..
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
PS : you have to make a gold card so your phone does not give you a signature error.. I was stuck with the same problem after updating the latest release but now my phone is working perfectly again..

This is the latest hboot from HTC for the DINC that allows the bootloader to be OEM unlocked.
HBOOT 1.02.0000
1. Enable usb debugging
2. Run RUU(make sure to use the HTC drivers or RUU wont work)
3. Use htc dev process to oem unlock bootloader
4. Enjoy pwnage of ur DINC
P.S. I have attached the PB31IMG.zip for those who dont kno how to RUU
Question (anyone)?
If you are already S-off, rooted, and using the .92 bootloader, will flashing the zip cause a loss of S-off, or any other disasters?
Considering giving it a shot, but don't want to spend the evening rerooting or getting into something I can't get back out of.
Input welcome...

Actually I think the wipe process with unlocking fails if you're on CWM. I didn't lose CWM or data when I did it.
Yes. I still am S-OFF when I did it rooted.
But you may not need this unlocked bootloader as you can already flash radios and recoveries from the bootloader (HBOOT) and kernels, ROMs and recoveries from CWM with s-off alone.
I got it just so I could use fastboot to flash kernels which if you flash with fastboot on this device you may need to still manually push the corresponding wifi module if the version string changes - not necessarily each time you switch kernels either. For my gingersense kernels that would only be if you switch between gingertiny 2.6.35.10, gingertiny-v2 2.6.35.13 and gingertiny-2.6.35.14. For incredikernel that may be quite different.
Sorry, I'm rambiling and should be asleep but just so hyper.
Yeah, I know it wasn't needed. But I felt it had to be done. Anyhow, something got wiped, cause it hung on the boot screen forever. Finally pulled the battery, booted into recovery, and restored my fresh backup. 1.02 bootloader, unlocked, and up and running again.
Thanks for all the help. I see you edited your post about the same time I was banging away in command prompt. All my SDK tools were scattered around and needed updating, which stretched it out. Once again, that feeling you get when something works despite your best efforts.
Thanks+

Not sure about flashing a newer recovery through fastboot.....but you can also download rom manager from the market and update your cwm that way....
The Bootloader
can you update the hboot while running a custom rom without bricking.

How are you trying to flash it? You just take this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip, and place it on your sdcard in no folders. Then boot to hboot and wait a few secs. It should automaticly find the file and prompt you to press vol up to update.
Fastboot flashing images wont work unless your bootloader in unlocked.

can you update the hboot while running a custom rom without bricking.

Yes you can as long as your s-off. This thread is actually old and a newer version hboot 1.07
DOWNLOAD: http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_1.07/PB31IMG.zip
MD5: http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_1.07/PB31IMG.zip.md5 has been released. However if your s-off there is no need to update, as you can already flash thru hboot. The only advantage is being able to fastboot flash imgs.
If you s-on the only way to update is to do an ruu, which will wipe the phone and require you to reroot and flash a backup.

Oh really? s-off users can simply flash the new HBOOT in HBOOT then do the unlocking process on HTC-Dev?
That unlocks and keeps s-off?

You can get the md5 by adding .md5 to the download url. ( http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_1.07/PB31IMG.zip.md5 ) All files on dinc.does-it.net have an md5.

Are you nutters? I'll both verify md5 and check zip file integrity before attempting to flash something like an hboot or radio!

Yeah.. I feel the same way! I was just confused since I didn't see the md5 posted. I wondered what I was missing.
So I kno its so late but I'd rather be sure than sorry lol...I can flash hboot 1.07(or what ever it is) and have both s-off and be unlocked? I thought you could only have one at a time? Someone help plz
Sent from my rooted GameBoy Advance! ^¬^
Yeah. Get S-OFF first if you haven't already. Then flash the latest HBOOT. You'll still have S-OFF after that. Then just unlock the bootloader on htcdev.com according to their directions.
Viola! S-OFF and unlocked bootloader.
Thanks will do!

Hello All,
Here's my dilemma. I successfully rooted my HTC One (AT&T), and was recently attempting to unroot it. I followed this one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823. Since I have the AT&T version, I downloaded the first one the list found there, however it wouldn't verify. Next I downloaded the AT&T AIO here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242635. I was able to use that to figure out according to the info it displayed that I actually needed the Google Edition one from the previous link. I thought that was weird since I dont have the google edition one. But when I fast booted that one, everything appeared to go through with a hitch.....Until it restarted.
After it restarted, I only have a black screen. No start up. I restarted the phone and went into the bootloader and to my surprise, the bootloader was black instead of the normal white.
I've tried several RUUs found here http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=M7
I've tried both the exe and flashing the zip.
I have no clue what to try next. Please XDA, your my only hope.
Are you s-off? I would assume so if you've been able to run multiple RUUs and are getting weird signature results. What mods/roms did you do to your phone before you started all this?
If you can get to bootloader, you're not bricked. You're on the 3.06 GE hboot, but it's not clear why you can't boot up.

Were you ever s-off? You should not have been able to run that GE RUU on an s-on AT&T phone.

You bought it new? Not used from someone else? If so, it was always s-on.
You're on GE firmware somehow. It's possible you have a conflict with your model or carrier ID. Can you run through the exact steps you took when you started trying to unroot? Exactly which files you used and how you ran them?

I received the phone directly from HTC through a sell to earn contest.
Not sure if it matters much but I unlocked the bootloader through HTC Dev.
To unroot,
1) Put phone in bootloader with fastboot
2) Relocked bootloader
3) fastboot oem rebootRUU
4) fastboot flash zip 2.24.401.1.zip (failed)
Used one of the AIOs that stated I had modelid: PN0712000 and cidnum: CWS__001. That when I grabbed the GE version.
5) fastboot flash zip 3.06.1700.10.zip
6) Phone finished, rebooted to a black screen
7) Rebooted into bootloader (Which is now black instead of white)
8) Sad ever since....
Where did you get that GE zip? I'm not sure why the AIO toolkit told you that you were GE but I'd like to check the file.
I suspect the problem is that you have 4.3 GE firmware but a 4.1 OS. Flashing a 4.2 or 4.3 rom might fix.

:facepalm: Just realized the issue.
Your bootloader is locked and you still have custom recovery installed, I'm guessing. Can you select Recovery in bootloader and see what happens? If you're still with TWRP or CWM, that's the issue; you can't boot locked on custom recovery.
You have to unlock again or flash the stock recovery in fastboot. Unlocking will wipe your phone, unfortunately.
Flashing recovery in fastboot is easy if you have the stock recovery file.

You are right about having the recovery option in the bootloader but when I try to select that option, Android shows up with the spinning blue thing in it's stomach, then it dies with a red triangle.
I'll try flashing the recovery again. After I find a stock recovery img. LOL
Thanks again!!!

Found the stock recovery. Attempted to flash it and got this:

OKAY [ 1.786s]
writing 'recovery'...
<bootloader> signature checking...
FAILED <remote: 12 signature verify fail>
finished. total time: 3.178s
Is there a different way I should be doing it.
HTC One has the Gray HTC logo chilling on the screen...

Actually, I think that red triangle is stock recovery. I think to get to the recovery options you press power+vol up on that screen. But it doesn't matter because clearly you're not on custom recovery.
I don't see that 3.06 firmware package in the OP of that thread. Can you find the post you found it attached to?

If you click on the download link in that post for the GE it downloads as that 3.06 firmware..
Also, not sure if it was smart or not but I unlocked the bootloader again to see if it would fix the conflicts you mentioned before. Haven't tried flashing anything yet...
ADD: I just successfully flashed the stock recovery.... Too scared to muck something up so I'll waif for your superior guidance!

I forgot Mike updated that link.
Okay, I see what you did now. You've essentially upgraded your phone to a GE because the android-info.txt in this official firmware matched your MID and CID; that allowed it to run. The problem is that you can't go back now because you're s-on. Your phone won't boot because you have the GE kernel installed but I assume a Sense rom.
This should be easy to fix. You can flash custom recovery now that you've unlocked, then flash a custom rom. This will get your kernel and rom consistent again and you should be able to boot.
Unrooting is a different story. You can't go back to the stock configuration you had when you got the phone without s-off, which you can't get on 1.54 hboot. I'm afraid you're stuck until AT&T releases 4.3 and you can run a RUU.

So no getting my white bootloader back till next release? That's ok.
However, how do I flash the custom ROM. I got the customer recovery going but I don't know how to get the ROM on there.... Flashing isn't working, still getting signature failures.

You can only run a later firmware. When the signed 4.3 Sense firmware is released (it may be there now), you should be able to run that and get back the stock HTC bootloader.
You need to adb push the rom file onto your phone. There is a tutorial for doing it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317986

Hello everyone,
This is my fisrt time writing in this forum, hope you guys can share some knowledge with me. Here is my issue:
I bought a HTC One to a guy a few weeks ago with barely no use. The thing is that I didn´t know at that time that the device was rooted with the MaximusHD. When I realized about it I reset my phone to factory settings and the new 4.3 3.22.1540.1 got installed. Thought it was ok but it is still doing some weird things so I decided to unroot the device to stock, also for warranty porpuses.
The problem comes when I try to download the RUU for my device due to I cannot find it. Should I do it through other method? Do I have to S-off to downgrade and install the RUU 1.29?
My phone is the following:
M7_UL PVT Ship S-On RH
Baseband 4A.17.3250.14
Hboot 1.54.0000
OpenDSP v31.120.274.0617
It is the european unlocked/international version bought in Spain.
I would really appreciate if someone could give a hand on this and guide me in through this process. I was an iPhone guy and now I'm freaking lost.
Thanks so much!

Your bootloader should already be unlocked, so simply get S-OFF using Rumrunner, then follow this guide.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried to s-off my htc but it hasnt worked. So I downloaded the recovery stock version and after installing it, the device told me that my phone doesnt appear to be rooted and if i wanted to install supersu, i declined and then made a recovery. Phone looks like unrooted, although within the bootloader it still shows "tampered" and "Unlocked". The recovery mode that the phone had installed has disappeared so I dont know what to do now, should I continue to s-off the device and then put it down to hboot 1.44 and follow the unroot guide???
I would like to make sure my device is unrooted in order to gain warranty privilages just in case i need to send out my phone to htc...
Thanks!

Just a quick note here, "version-main: <blank>" I never like that.
BTW, when posting "fastboot getvar all" it's preferably to remove IMEI and s/n; we don't need to see that.
You should probably get s-off as @attanasi0 suggested and then run a "HTC__304" downgrade RUU. (You can only downgrade if you're S-Off)
Just my two cents

Right, it shows just OS- but nothing else...when i bought it the guy had installed the MaximusHD 13 and I updated through OTA to the MaximusHD 20 but wasnt going smooth so I reset it to factory settings and It installed the JB 4.3 (3.22.1540.1).
Today after trying to s-off without success, I downloaded the recovery stock version for the rom I had and flashed it and the recovery mode that I had before disappeared and the baseband upgraded to 4A.20...instead of the 4A.17 that I had before that. Did the guy who sold me the htc messed it up? is there anything I can do to set my device to factory settings?

Well from the information available, you have
- hboot 1.54
- m7_ul
- PN0710000
- CID HTC__304
this would lead me to assume you have a 2.24.401.x based phone.
I would try to get one of the following Guru Reset ROM:
2.24.401.8 : http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/
2.24.401.1 : http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-1-zip/
flash one of them in recovery, then follow the rumrunner steps to try to achieve S-Off.
If that is successful, then you can downgrade back to stock, using this RUU (exe): http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/
check your "fastboot getvar all" after that.
Once you've done all that you can use revone (or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792) to remove "TAMPERED"
and also revone (or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914) to get you're phone "LOCKED" if you so wish

Thanks for the help. I have downloaded the Rom you gave me the link for but I dunno how to flash it due to I lost access to the teamwin recovery mode and when I click recovery onto the bootloader it goes to a black screen with a caution simbol in red and I have to reboot it.
I have tried with the goomanager to flash that rom but it doesnt let me. Any advice in this regard? I can tell goomanager to find an open recovery script (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-m7.img), should i do this? Or Im gonna end up with a bricked phone?

"black screen with a caution simbol in red" that's stock recovery, you need to flash back a custom recovery. download (if you dont have one) from the xda threads, then enter bootloader (shut off phone, hold POWER + VOLDOWN) enter FASTBOOT, connect to PC and it should change to FASTBOOT USB
then
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter RECOVERY
then "install ZIP" in Aroma, deselect "stock recovery" so you don't need to flash it again.

then "install ZIP" in Aroma, deselect "stock recovery" so you don't need to flash it again.

No problem, TWRP you mentioned should work just fine. It's the same as installing a custom ROM. I havent used TWRP but it should say something like "install zip", then find the zip and flash away.
Hopefully, that will give you a chance to successfully run rumrunner; remember to read and follow the instructions to the letter!
Good luck and keep us posted (fingers crossed)

Well I installed the custom recovery, then flashed the stock rom 2.24.401.8 as you told me. Once I did that I ran rumrunner successfully gainning S-off.
Now I have to run the RUU but the one you suggested me is the "RUU M7 UL JB 50 HTC Europe 1.28.401.7 Radio 4A.13.3231.27 10.31.1131.05 Release 310878" but my radio is 4A.17.3250.14_10.39.1150.04L. Should I try to install it anyways? I've taken a look at the rest of RUUs and none fits my features...
btw every time I flash the stock version at the end it tells me that my phone doesnt appear to be rooted and if i want to install supersu, i always say no and after that my recovery always goes to stock, i guess it is normal, isnt it?

Go ahead and flash it, it will downgrade everything (now possible thanks to S-Off), and you will then receive the latest OTA package(s) to get to the most current version including radio.

Done!!!!! Sweet!! it worked just fine! Tampered disappeared and bootloader only shows unlocked. I have to relock it, havent I? That wouldnt mess up with my carrier right? It is just for locking the bootloader, isnt it?
Well many many thanks for your help, I couldnt have done it without it and I have learnt so much through the process Soon I'll be ready to re-root the phone again and try some custom roms hehe
Peace and greetings from Spain!

Hey! I have tried to lock it but after typing adb shell I get this "[email protected]:\ $" instead of the # that you are getting. I've tried to type "su" after that but it says that the command cannot be found. Also, when I type the code "echo -ne..." it says that I have permission denied so dunno what to do now...
Im asking in the lock/unlock threat but they just told me that its because im not rooted and that i have to install a recovery and install superuser in order to be able to introduce the code, dont really understand why I have to root it afer unrooted it :S

You should have LOCKED it before running the RUU, because that's what made you loose root.
So before proceeding, can you give me an update of your status:
bootloader: locked/relocked/unlocked?
tampered?
ROM?
"fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n)
